Great cookbook for experienced or inexperienced cooks who love international cuisine! The book does have some local southern recipes, but all the recipes are "home" recipes from around the world. Absolutely loved reading the interesting sidebars which offer some history about the dish or its country of origin. Although I'm american, I notice it is also provides metric measurement conversions. This book has actually made me enjoy cooking!

A great community cook book with wonderful recipes from around the world. I have seen hundreds of excellent community cook books from different regions within the United States, but this is one of the few international community cook books and the best I've seen. It full of recipes that use those marvelous international ingredients that are popping up on the grocery store shelves these days, such as lemon grass, Thai chilies, Mexican farmer cheese (queso fresco), adobo sauce, bean thread noodles, gorgonzola, fennel, leeks, and much more. Also, most of the recipes are pretty simple, and you can successfully cook something new and interesting without needing the help of a sous chef.

On top of great recipes, the book has sidebars that are an engaging history and geography lesson through food and are reason enough alone to buy the book.
